Support Experiential Education
At Johnson & Wales University, we believe that learning by doing is one of the most effective and high-impact ways to learn — which is why experiential learning has been woven into all aspects of our education, in and out of the classroom, for more than 100 years. Whether you support the innovative experiential learning opportunities funded by the John and Donna Yena Experiential Education Fund or the career guidance JWU students receive from the moment they enroll through graduation day, you are investing in Wildcats' futures.

About the John and Donna Yena Experiential Education Fund
The John and Donna Yena Experiential Education Fund was established to honor the Yenas' longstanding relationship with JWU and to perpetuate their legacy of supporting student success in their careers. As passionate innovators and advocates for JWU's career-focused educational model, the Yenas' shared vision led to the development of numerous successful experiential learning opportunities that continue to prepare students for leadership roles around the world.
